Yeah, what’s in this time? Hope they are going to announce new prices for displays!

UPDATE: I really thought something major was going on. I mean, why would Apple need to shut down all their online stores? Well, it looks like they did it to introduce a few new colors for their iPod Shuffle. How lame… I really hoped for new displays.

BTW, does anyone know why Apple shuts down their store each and every time they update some products? It really makes no sense to me…

I have just added the ETH cafeterias to the list. Please note, that not all cafeterias can be parsed correctly. I try to get the right data but can’t guarantee that. If you know of other cafeterias around the ETH or UZH please send me links to pages with their daily menus. I will try to include them to the list.

There’s a new version of the widget available. It’s now possible to select any cafeteria at the University of Zurich. More features to come!

Today I’ve been experimenting with Apple’s new DashCode tool and have created a small (and probably very buggy) widget. The widget queries a web service I have wrote to get each day’s menu of my university’s cafeteria. Anyway, it works and it might be a simple but nice gadget for people studying and working at the Department of Informatics. So I decided to share the result. You can download the widget here. Improvements, remarks or any other kind of feedback is very welcome.
